discover a manhattan living experience unlike any other in this astonishing threebedroom,
four-and-a-half-bathroom penthouse duplex wrapped in 1,500 square feet of
incredibly peaceful and private outdoor space. in this exquisite aerie perched high
above the city, you'll bask in magnificent views that stretch from the hudson river
to both the downtown and midtown skylines, while delightful robins, cardinals and blue
jays make daily visits, and the occasional hawks soar overhead. set within a revered
emery roth building once known as the fifth avenue hotel, this is a home of
exceptional distinction on greenwich village's coveted gold coast.
meticulously renovated and combined in 2017, the 3,100-square-foot showplace offers
dramatic interiors and intriguing provenance. the residence served as the fifth avenue
hotel's "ladies smoking lounge" in the 1920s. in the 1970s, a well-known artist used
the space as his studio, and the previous owner was the sound engineer for the sex
pistols. today, the residence is a tranquil haven where the stress of the city is left far
below. the expansive multi-level layout is beautifully suited for quiet contemplation and
lavish entertaining with sumptuous accommodations for friends and family.
awake feeling transported to a spanish villa perched above washington square in the
otherworldly owner's suite, encircled by a breathtaking arcade supported by ornate
corinthian columns. soaring coffered ceilings add to the grandeur of the space, while
window seats invite you to drink in the jaw-dropping views that reach from lower
manhattan to cotton-candy sunsets. rows of custom wardrobes and a walk-in closet
lead you to the exquisite spa bathroom, where the freestanding tub, walk-in rain shower
and double vanity are surrounded by upscale tile, designer fixtures and vistas over the
west village and soho. an equally well-appointed secondary suite on this level boasts
a private bathroom and walk-in closet, while a large loft with a bathroom is ideal as a
study or music area overlooking the spectacular living spaces below, and with
spectacular views to the landmarks of midtown.
greet your guests on the unrivaled main floor, where a gracious foyer and bold dining
room create a true sense of arrival with artistic metalwork designed by architect steven
wanta, and custom fabricated in gowanus, brooklyn. purposefully positioned to create
a separation of living and dining spaces, the open metal grille allows light to filter
through while adding space for art displays. sections that wind from the dining room to
the music loft above reference old musical notation. a well-placed abstract tribute to
marcel duchamp's "nude descending a staircase" fills the panel closest to the stairs.
plan your next dinner party under dazzling custom lighting in this work-of-art dining
room, or venture ahead to the glorious living room where ceilings rise nearly 19 feet
above handsome herringbone floors and a wood-burning fireplace. a wall of windows
opens to a west-facing terrace where al fresco gatherings enjoy panoramic views of the
river and hudson yards skyline. inside, explore a gourmet kitchen wonderland perfect
for those with a passion for entertaining, thanks to a convenient bar area and a fleet of
upscale appliances. gorgeous gray bilotta custom cabinetry topped by pyrolave
countertops in a dazzling shade of aubergine completes the exceptional entertaining
level.
head to the southern wing to discover another level of elegant living space that works
equally well as a separate area for guests or an integral part of the overall household.
wrapped in an unrivaled 66-foot terrace facing south and west, it's sure to become a
favorite gathering place. inside, a large living area boasts “indoor-outdoor” living,
with beamed ceilings, handsome built-ins and a wet bar. the beautiful bedroom suite
enjoys terrace access and a sun-splashed designer bathroom with a large walk-in rain
shower. working closely with the landmarks preservation commission, the owners
created five sets of custom french doors that open the entire floor to the terrace while
adhering to the building's historic architecture. outside, you're invited to ponder the
iconic sights of the city, while turf, trees, planter beds, crenelated brickwork and
integrated seating create a secluded sanctuary with only the residence's windows
above. extensive upgrades, including new wiring and infrastructure, a full sound
system, zoned central air conditioning and in-unit laundry, complete this peerless new
york city penthouse.
designed by emery roth, 24 fifth avenue makes a grand impression with a stunning
bronze canopy and limestone and terra cotta details in the spanish renaissance style.
opened as an apartment house hotel in 1926, the historic cooperative offers today's
residents full-time doorman and concierge service, a live-in superintendent, a truly regal
marble lobby, package room, state-of-the-art fitness center, laundry, storage and bike
room. pets, pieds-à-terre, subletting, co-purchasing, gifting, parents buying for children
and guarantors are permitted with board approval.
from this commanding position along the greenwich village historic district's famed
gold coast, you'll enjoy serene residential character just inches from exciting shopping,
dining and nightlife. enjoy beautiful scenery and greenmarkets in union square and
washington square parks, or dine at michelin-starred restaurants like blue hill and
carbone. transportation from this central district is effortless with b/d/f/m, l, 1/2/3,
